HIT US UP:

[justdont]

The way she talks about both her achievements and flaws before concluding that even with all these flaws she is "anything but insane" the buildup for that was just- 👌

[bythebreach]

Prince Edward: "I have put up with you for over 50 years!"

Prince Charles: "Hold my port"

[AnimeBoy]

Now that's a spectacular performance by Dame Judi Dench, who portrays Queen Victoria as a senior lady who, despite being advanced in age, remains strong in will and refuses to be bullied into submission, not even by her son.

[Hallows]

I love how she’s completely unselfconscious about rattling off the negative aspects of her résumé as much as the positive ones.

[manramen]

Like in chess, when the Queen is faced with opposition, she does NOT retreat, she decides which piece to chop NEXT, which place to occupy NEXT.

[thevampirecielphantomhive]

Abdul give her companionship at the end of her life that was all she wanted was to feel loved again.

[rieyenviyells]

Queen Victoria: "Or...or-oorrr-ooorrr Bertie." I love that bit and the next bit of when she enumerated upon all of her character traits -- the good, the bad, and the ugly. Dench is one of the world's most rarest of treasures! A great actress all around.

[AbrahamLincoln]

"I have put up with you over 50 years!" What a way to talk to your own Mom like that.

[JaceTan-]

Can you imagine your own son calling their own mom insane? Think about it for a second. That’s beyond insane and unacceptable.

[sethraelthebard]

Dame Judi Dench is a national treasure. If ever there was a commanding presence which demanded respect (But not reverence, for that would be both presumptive and belittling) it is Dame Judi Dench. What a glorious character!

[ohdamnman]

He definitely undercut himself by starting his speech to the Queen with mummy.

[melaniemills]

Abdul treated her like a person and she appreciated that...😎👍

[aaryapurii]

What I realised from this scene was the amount of hatred most British Victorians had towards Indians. They simply couldn't accept that Indians were civilised and were as human and intelligent as them. But I not saying all them most of them were but some were rare gems who were kind.

[conserztasfia]

Lol she basically said "I am your mother, the real boss. Stay in your place"😂

[souldiving]

"I am cantankerous, boring, greedy, fat, ill-tempered, at times selfish and myopic, both metaphorically and literally."

[robertyates]

Since she says she has been queen 62 years and 234 days that would make this scene would be dated February 9, 1900. However, that would’ve been before her 81st (and last) birthday which would not have been until May 24, 1900. This would have been just under one year before she died January 22, 1901.

[sandybarrie]

Judy Dench ads such power to her roles… you cn feel it.. so great.

[sezza]

I love the scene so much! Dame Judy Dench is absolutely marvelous! Go Queen Victoria, smack them down!💪😎👏💖

[AbrahamLincoln]

The only time her son calls his mom "Mommy" in a serious convo that could get her dethroned.

[PokePalm]

From just one word of insane came a lot of profiles during her reign. How the Queen responded truly smashed it. The Queen seemed to walk more efficiently than her son.
